Two things on a semi related topic

As they both are about plastic.

First, I'm sure you've heard about the Mattel toy recall.After reading the site, I wouldn't mind being a shareholder in 'Big Toy", and appreciat them being proactive in taking care of the problem.I just wish we had someone to actually go to the source of some of our national problems like that and be able to force a recall of 20 million lawbreakers.

Second is the newest scary "New car smell is dangerous" story.I had a post about it before. About a week before it was a national scare story- if I remember right.Anyway, if it were soooo bad for you- why isn't the majority of the worlds population keeling over dead? Most people HAVE ridden in a brand spankin' new ride before.It's just like secondhand smoke. Why only recentlyhas all this come up, and where are the stats showing in the 40's to mid 60's when *EVERYONE* was smoking weren't kids keeling over in death throws all the time?

Anyway, time to get on the road---there's a big storm in the gulf, hope you filled up before gas hits $4/ gal.
